Favorite Running Quotes:
1.
"Sooner or later the serious runner goes through a special, very personal experience that is unknown to most people.
Some call it euphoria. Others say it's a new kind of mystical experience that propels you into a elevated state of consciousness, a flash of joy.
A sense of floating as you run. This experience is unique to each of us, but when it happens, you break through a barrier that separates you from casual runners. Forever. And from that point on, there is no finish line. You run for your life. You begin to be addicted to what running gives you."
~Nike Poster
2. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
You’ve no doubt heard this. And you’ve probably recited it in your mind on a run or at the gym when you’re just beginning to get in shape. You have a goal in sight and this quote brings you back to the current moment.
But the problem is that many runners forget all of the steps between the first one and the goal. If your goal is to run under two hours for the half marathon then you need to be honest about all of the little steps to get to that goal.
You should have goals, but you should take it one step at a time. And you should be honest about the fact that you don’t know how many steps it will take to get there. ~ Vernon Gambetta
3. Human beings are made up of flesh, blood and a miracle fiber called COURAGE! ~ George Patton

Karen asked me to join her on her 20th marathon. Since I was already trained I decided to run. I saw Lowell and Smooth on the bus. It was wonderful to catch up!
Karen and I started together, but she left me around mile 2/3 and I didn't see her again till the finish. I knew I wouldn't PR on this course, but I definitely underestimated the hills. I really enjoyed the scenery and felt like I ran smart. Nutrition and water intake was 100% on point. We had cool and overcast weather....even a tailwind.
I was leap frogging with a young girl. I noticed she started to fall behind a bit and motioned for her to run with me. I ran the last 3-4 miles with her and we finished together. We didn't talk a lot, but it was nice to have the company. I saw Pam Bodtcher at the finish. She said, "you make running marathons look so easy." That was very nice of her to say. Tim and Carter came after the race.
This was a small race...only had 900 runners for the marathon. I had a really great experience (the cool weather was a major factor). I ran the same exact time at Mt Charleston. It is time to go back to the drawing board for training though. I'm no where near a BQ.

My legs feel like trash. It would have been foolish to try any speed work (high hamstring and peroneals still bugging). So I checked my ego at the door and just ran really slow.

AF Canyon (13.1 Miles) 01:47:50, Place overall: 522, Place in age division: 36 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 0.00 | 13.10 | 13.10 |
| TT: 1:47:50 AP: 8:13 (8:25, 8:27, 8:29, 8:14, 8:12, 8:03, 8:25//, 7:48, 8:21, 8:20, 8:35, 8:24, 7:45)
I wasn't sure what to expect from this race since I have just run two marathons. I feel like I've barely run since Utah Valley, so I was just happy to be here today. Collette texted me last night about going to the race together. What a great surprise! We rode the bus up together.
I started very slow because I didn't want to Fly 'n Die. I kept holding back and wish I wouldn't have. I missed my course PR by 10 seconds :( I dropped by GU somewhere and had to stop at the mile 7 aid station. It totally cost me 20-30 seconds to open my GU and eat it (and it was a gross flavor).
Once I excited the canyon, I decided to push as hard as I could. My first half of the race, my AP was 8:16 (down the canyon). My second half of the race, my AP was 8:11 (flat). I need to be a better down-the-canyon runner. I saw an aquaintance about mile 12. She kinda drives me crazy and I went right past her. I knew I had to go to puke zone to keep her at bay. It was my fastest mile of the race.
I hung out in the finish chute for a minute to video Collette coming in. I saw lots of friends! Then Carter started his 5k. He only wanted to run it to get the free Kneaders french toast. He did a great job! 6th in his AG.
Post race, I'm feeling quite sore. I must have run harder than I was in shape for. I'm pleased with my time all things considered. But I'm ticked I missed my course PR by 10 seconds (I should've looked up that PR time before the race).
I need to decide if I want to run St George. Today is maybe not the day to make that decision :)
